When Klaus slaughters Katherine's family, he abducts her sister in order to make her to continue the Petrova bloodline, hoping eventually to get another doppelganger. Liliya Petrova hates her capturer, why shouldn't she also hate his family?

"I…brought shame to our family and now I must pay the price," she said quietly.

Tears were rolling down my cheeks, I clung my sister, wanting to keep her with me. What would I do without her?

"No…Father can not send you away, there has to be some other way…"

Katerina's eyes were watering up, but she shook her head.

"No, little one, there is no other way. You must not blame father, I brought this on myself."

"But…"

"You must be strong Liliya, mother and father will need you after I am gone. Help Grigor to look after them. Promise me."

I swallowed my tears and nodded.

"I promise."

Katerina ran her fingers over my cheek and hugged me.

"I wish I could see you to become a woman, little one, all the men in the village will fight for your attention. But do not make the same mistakes I did."

I nodded; I was too embarrassed to admit that I couldn't completely understand what her mistake had been. Our mother had called it a sin, our father whoring. Grigor hadn't called it anything, he had only snorted contemptuously. I knew what a sin was, at least I thought so, but no one had explained to me what whoring meant. I should know about these things, I would be 13 soon. Katerina pulled away and cupped my face.

"You must remember that men can not be trusted, they will say the sweetest things, but they only want to violate you. You must not let them do that, not before you are married, otherwise you will end up like me. Do you understand?"

Her tone was very serious and it scared me a little, but I nodded, trying to look like an adult.

"I will not let any man to violate me," I assured firmly.

Katerina smiled and kissed my forehead.

"Good."

Her eyes were watering up again before she hugged me tightly.

"I will miss you so much, little one."

"I will miss you too," I sobbed, never wanting to let go.

"Katerina," father said impatiently from the door. "It is time to go."
